Wrap, pack and ship holiday gifts with help of Mail & More

Published: Monday, December 19, 2005

Good news for last-minute shoppers: there is still time to mail gifts, cards and packages for the holidays! Just bring your bag of gifts to Mail & More early this week to ensure delivery by Christmas morning.

Packages to Texas and surrounding states can still be mailed via ground service, but they should be sent today or tomorrow to ensure timely delivery. Packages destined for either coast will need to be mailed through expedited service. Remember, you always have more shipping options if you get packages on their way early - plus you avoid the added expense of overnight delivery!

An authorized shipping center for the US Postal Service and UPS, Federal Express, DHL and Lone Star, Mail & More can offer the right shipping choices to meet your holiday needs. Talk with the staff - they are happy to make recommendations on the best shipping options. Lone Star, for example, offers 1-day ground service to qualifying cities in Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana.

In these final days before Christmas, when you're pressed for time, it's reassuring to let Mail & More's professionals handle all the wrapping and packing for you - it's easy for you and you know it will be done right! For beautiful packages, Mail & More can professionally gift wrap your gifts at a reasonable rate, and to ensure the packages arrive at their destination safely and in one piece, Mail & More offers professional packing.

If you are more the "do-it-yourself" type, Mail & More stocks packing supplies (including both gift boxes and mailing cartons), mailers, holiday gift bags and tissue paper. The decorated padded mailers available are fun and easy to use.

With heightened security at airports around the nation, Mail & More offers this tip: ship gifts to avoid hassles at the airport! All packages, even gifts, are subject to inspection, and airlines are stricter than ever about carry-on items. Ship gifts ahead to make your travel easier. And don't forget to ship gifts home after the holidays, too! Mail & More can help!

Still have holiday shopping to do? Mail & More offers lots of great gifts in their showroom - you can even shop while you're sending out your holiday mail! In addition to great gifts like scented candles from Colonial, Mail & More also has a good selection of holiday decorations and ornaments, stuffed animals, frames, mini magnet calendars (buy 5, get 1 free!), and greeting cards. Don't forget to pick up some Aspen Mulling Spices for hot apple cider this holiday season!
